Actually there are parts of Canada where there are four perfectly even and distinct seasons. Where I come from, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter are nominally 3 months each when it comes right down to it. Each season has it's own character and serves it's perfect purpose.
Winter, for example, refreshes everything and prepares the way for the new life that the coming of Spring marks. We have no poisonous creatures here, and no big spiders or snakes. Even the mosquitoes are nearly non existent most of the time. We have a nice warm Summer for all to enjoy and a Fall that you could walk for hours in.
There's nothing like it.
There are several things that make us unique from Iowa as well. Almost no gun crime. Universal Healthcare, of the highest quality in the world, which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without need for a credit card or cash.
Like Iowa... perhaps in some ways - but definitely not in others.

- by the age of 4, all kids are throwing their own curling rocks and actively participating in the family bonspiel
- coffee time is usually at the local wheat pool
